Kings-Mavs gametime thread

[piksi]

An other 30 pts quarter against us. It will not be enough.

Play some D !!!!!!

 

[VF21]

I know at some point there are going to be comments about how WEbber can't shoot free throws. I'm going to go on record right now as saying I don't care. He looks terific. He's moving inside, he's setting picks, he's doing just about everything people said he'd never do again. If he misses some FTs, he misses some FTs.

Darius, Brad, Bobby, Barnes and Pedja start the second half...

 

[VF21]

32-23 Mavs

Nice steal by Barnes, who takes it all the way and dunks it in the hoop.

32-25 Mavs

 

[vj9999]

I like what Barnes has to offer so far.

 

[VF21]

Barnes looks good!

Bobby gets the ball, ignores a wide-open Miller under the bucket, drives inside and can't finish...

Mavs ball.

32-25 Mavs

Time out.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Barnes is looking very sharp out there, and Tag, well he is filling up the lane

 

[piksi]

MIKE BIBBY 0-4

PEJA STOJAKOVIC 1-5

come on guys - just hit something

 

[VF21]

Barnes misses a lay-up...

Mavs lay-up.

34-25 Mavs

Darius to Bobby for two.

34-27 Mavs

 

[VF21]

42-31 Mavs

6:41 left

Bobby, Kevin, Darius, Bobby and Miller on the court

Miller with the steal, passes to Flash - who is fouled.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Miller with the steal...Great pass to Martin

 

[fakie]

thank you guys so much for doing play by play. it helps since we don't get to see the game.
i tried to get the audio pass work on nba.com, but can't figure out how.

so glad to hear webber is doing well. how's the rest of the team look? any concerns about the "chemistry" ?
do they have energy? are they running? sounds like they are not playing defense, but how's the offense looking?
peja hitting any big points yet? why's bibby been missing?

 

[BigSong]

i've never seen Nowitzki play this well, and he's really improved on his help defense. Nowitzki is winning this game.

 

[VF21]

Flash at the line - his first FT bounces all over and doesn't go in.

Second FT is nothing but net.

42-32 Mavs

 

[4cwebb]

Kevin Martin misses a free throw, and the defense is still sorely lacking. 42 - 32 Dallas.

 

[4cwebb]

Who is Henderson abusing on the offensive glass?

 

[VF21]

fakie - I can't do a play by play and answer questions at the same time. The best time to ask is during timeouts, commercials OR half-time.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Martin soots, is blocked and Miller scores... are they a team?

 

[VF21]

Bobby pass to Martin, Dirk partially blocks it - Miller recovers it and gets the bucket.

42-34 Mavs

Finley miss, Barnes board.

Bobby for three misses; Mavs board.

 

[4cwebb]

Mavs shooting 50% at this point in the game. Nice follow by Miller -- 42-34.

Finley misses a three - Barnes with rebound.

Jackson misses a three. Still 42-34.

 

[VF21]

Martin fouls STackhouse. Commercial time out.

 

[4cwebb]

I'll stop duplicating efforts...

 

[VF21]

Lots to be optimistic about, so far...with the best, IMHO, being how good WEbber looks, as even the Mavs broadcasters have mentioned.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Im out of the play by paly my slef.. way to distracted anyway

 

[VF21]

Thanks, 4cwebb. If I need a break, I'll let you fill in, okay?

 

[VF21]

Stackhouse makes both.

44-34

Nice ball movement by Kings. WEbber, Tag, Martin, Jackson and Barnes on the court. Shot clock winding down...O-foul by Bobby.

 

[Since93]

We need Christie.. no flow of any kind whatsoever.

 

[VF21]

Bibby back in - Bobby with 3 PFs.

Dirk misses. Barnes board. That kid has hustle.

Bibby to WEbber, pass slightly off. Mavs ball.

Dirk with put-back at the other end.

46-34 Mavs

3:54 left

Dampier with the foul

 

[HndsmCelt]

too bad Chriss mised that oop from Mike
would ahve been sweet

 

[Since93]

Every Kings procession is one off. If it miss, then it's done.

 

[VF21]

Pedja back in, Martin out.

Kings miss; Barnes called for reach-in on Finley ...

Mavs ball.

Dirk fouled by Webber.

Dirk to the line.
